Second Chance

The EOPS SECOND CHANCE PROGRAM is specifically designed to recruit, enroll and support formerly incarcerated students currently enrolled or who intend to enroll at City College. Interested potential students who have the motivation and commitment to succeed are recruited while in recovery programs, and pre-release programs in the San Francisco Bay Area. Increasingly, law enforcement agents and agencies refer formerly incarcerated persons to the EOPS SECOND CHANCE PROGRAM as an important ingredient in their total recovery program. Outreach and recruitment information is disseminated locally in workshops and meetings at churches, community centers and agencies throughout the communities of Bayview-Hunters Point, Mission, Visitacion Valley, Chinatown, North Beach, Tenderloin, South of Market and the Western Addition. Many potential students are also referred through word of mouth by other students and from programs throughout California.
